Sustainable solutions for land and sea

Wastewater solutions developed by Ecomotive AS should be sustainable, or contribute to sustainability. The word sustainability describes very well what we are trying to do at Ecomotive: to maintain a natural balance through minimal environmental impact from the products we develop in collaboration with our clients. Ecomotive AS has been the driving force behind the development of several treatment plants which are all “state of the art” with excellent environmental and purification properties. These systems are currently commercial products manufactured and sold by the Jets™ group.

Today's solutions have solved key challenges by separating blackwater and gray water, and are well on their way to addressing key issues in the water and wastewater industry.

Solutions for houses and cabins

Ecomotive has developed a source-separating, decentralized wastewater system for high-end cabins and residential buildings (using a gray water treatment plant and a collecting tank for black water). The gray water component of the system is designed and developed as a compact treatment plant with all functionality housed in a single tank. With today's technology, we can handle graywater treatment for cabins, cabin areas and houses.

In our current source separation wastewater system, toilet waste (black water) is collected in a black water tank that is emptied by truck at regular intervals. All other wastewater from showers, bathtubs, dishwashing and laundry (gray water) flows to the gray water plant for treatment. Thus, the two wastewater fractions are not mixed at any point, but remain separated at all times.

Our solutions treat wastewater onboard ships to a degree where the wastewater can be released back into open waters. We are also well on our way to finding solutions that will separate gray and black water on ships.

Solutions for ships

Our maritime sewage treatment plant is highly compact with flexible and space-saving installation options. It was developed working alongside the Jets™ group’s leading professionals in maritime treatment technology, in an attempt to considerably improve treatment efficiency for the benefit of the maritime environment. We successfully did so, and certification tests carried out at BG Verkehr in Germany (formerly SBG), made it clear that the Ecomotive STP yielded test results that were 30 to 40 percent better than other treatment systems have achieved.

The combination of these factors has resulted in impressive sales figures in the marine market. Today we supply plants in different sizes/capacities as needed, and can treat black and gray water at sea with very good results.
